Glasvegas US Tour 2014

FEBRUARY 25: 7TH STREET ENTRY
Glasvegas w/ The Ceremonies
Scottish indie quartet Glasvegas is saying ‘hello’ to America again with a three week coast-to-coast club tour of intimate venues that give the audience a rare chance to see the band up close and personal.
Though it marks their 8th tour of the U.S., it’s been three years since we’ve last seen them on these shores, and they come in support of their third studio album, Later...When The TV Turns To Static (BMG), which was released late last fall.
Singer-songwriter James Allan again sets lyrics of heartbreak and melancholy against an epic wall of sound, as seen in the video for “If” from the album, which features a cheeky intro from William Shatner himself.
Freed from the pressures of any band’s second album, the new third record retains the emotional core of their debut and re-affirms boldly, that they are a band still worthy of attention.
Los Angeles band The Ceremonies, which feature the three Cook brothers, open the show with their own blend of indie-rock, chiefly influenced by UK 80’s bands such as Echo and the Bunnymen and The Cure, with poets William Blake and writer Aldous Huxley cited as major inspirations by oldest Cook brother and lyricist, Matthew. The band is supporting their debut self-titled EP (Atom Factory/Capitol Records), which features a heartwarming cover photo of the three brothers together when they were toddlers.

Royal Teeth & CHAPPO Tour

FEBRUARY 26: TRIPLE ROCK SOCIAL CLUB
CHAPPO/Royal Teeth/Parade of Lights
…You’ll feel like you stepped into your own surprise party.
Brooklyn based psych-rock band CHAPPO (vocalist/multi-instrumentalists Alex Chappo and Chris Olson, drummer Zac Colwell, guitarist Dave Feddock) promise to bring the party to you!
In 2012 the band released their debut album Moonwater (Majordomo Records) and found themselves with a lot of attention after single, “Come Home”, was the soundtrack for an Apple commercial.
The band returns with their follow up, Future Former Self, to be released this spring, which seems to be a concept album of sorts- “the record follows one man's journey through space to a black hole to help save mankind, while he struggles with the abstract concept of time and its fleeting nature.”
In addition to any space-borne theme, expect a full-on sensory experience featuring costumes, confetti, props (including an LED moon!) and a high-energy performance (Flaming Lips fans, take note…).
New Orleans’ own Royal Teeth returns to town with their own version of happy, jumping dance pop, as evidenced on their full-length debut, Glow (Dangerbird Records)and brings the Mardi Gras party atmosphere, to their own live performances.
Alt-electro Los Angeles band Parade of Lights rounds the bill out in Minneapolis, with Blondfire opening other dates. “Golden”, currently featured in NBC’s Sochi Olympics campaign, will be the title track off Parade of Light’s forthcoming EP, out on Astralwerks later this year.

FEBRUARY 28: TRIPLE ROCK SOCIAL CLUB
We Were Promised Jetpacks w/ Honeyblood
Friday, we see We Were Promised Jetpacks will be playing at the Triple Rock Social Club.
Like many bands currently on tour at the moment, their goal is to end up near or around Austin, Texas, where they are scheduled to appear at some SXSW showcase. And yes, incidentally, I caught the band when they played SXSW a few years ago, at the Scottish Showcase.
Glasgow's Honeyblood (Shona McVicar on drums and Stina Marie Claire Tweeddale) will be opening.

Aaron & The Sea/The Kickback/The Noise FM/Fort Wilson Riot
Aaron & The Sea is listed as headliner for this March 1st show.
Also on the bill are Minneapolis' Fort Wilson Riot, Chicago's The Noise FM and The Kickback.
The Kickback is prepping for a new Summer album called Sorry All Over The Place, so I think they will be testing out the new songs on this tour (which 'kicks' off next week).
